Riley and Company Challenge--An awesome Sketch

What a wonderful sketch the wonderfully talented Cindy has created for us this week forThe Riley and Company Challenge. Here is my sketch card:

Were you surprised I didn't turn the sketch or change it? I don't ALWAYS change the challenges, especially sketch challenges :)
I love Detective Riley and didn't really want to do another fall, Christmas card so decided this would be fun. The sketch kind of covered up the detective dp I used but that is all right. The image was colored with copic markers and sponged with distress ink. Each square piece behind the main image was sponged as well.
I used a large scalloped border punch for the bottom and cut one from the red and one from black.
Two antique buttons from my Grandpa's button collection were perfect for the two embellishments on the sketch. The wham words on each square were from the detective sticker sentiment page which coordinated with the dp.
Be sure to stop by each DT members blog to see what awesome projects they created with the sketch.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

I was chosen for May Center Stage

About Me

Hello, My name is Cathy and I have created this blog for my friends and friends to see what I have created and to showcase my new projects.
I started stamping in 2006 and I don't see myself stopping any time soon. I find it very relaxing and a wonderful way to feel creative and artistic. My theory is that you never outgrow your need to color. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
I love sharing my hobby with my friends and family.
Feel free to comment on the projects that I have posted and let me know if there is anything that you would like to see or have me explain in more detail.
I do not promise to update my blog daily but will try to post daily during the week. The week-ends get a little busy sometimes and although I may create something I don't have time to post.
